Detroit Breakdown Blues

1:00-4:00

I don’t know about you guys- but for me these guys have been missing for WAY too long!  This is going to be a very special afternoon- especially since it’s also Paul’s birthday!

For those who don’t know, Detroit Breakdown is a special blend of Boogie-blues; an up beat, danceable style that will keep you up and outa’ your seat! Paul Petit – Lead Singer, Blues Harp, Sax and Flute.Great lead guitar, silly good drummer,HAMMOND ORGAN, and terrific bass-

Paul Petit, Detroit Breakdown’s front-man lead vocalist,and harmonica ,WAS also featured on the Mill city Rockers first two albums as lead singer. Both albums toped record sales on Big Noise Records.HITTING NO.1 for Regional sales.. Richard Jiacovelli, Paul’s Bandmate for the last 10 years”, plays the hammond B-3 organ and piano. He is also a vocalist in the band, making him a “key player” in the project (pun intended)………. Rich “Reggie” Roussel plays bass and adds vocals. Reggie is a founding member of Mainbreak, Injustice and the Negative Attitudes……….. The other half of the rhythm section is Billy “Bam Bam” Donahue. Billy is a former member of Young Neal and the Vipers, Touch and Through the Doors. Billy brings a hard driving blues shuffle feel to the group………. Scott Cioe rounds out the lineup with guitar and vocals. Scott, also a member of Mainbreak, Man Made God and Exit 19, was also the band leader for Paul and Al and the Nads, the infamous group from WHJY

The Detroit Breakdown Band is a realy great group of musicians. A singer and harmonica player for 30+ years, the J. Geils Band has been a personal favorite. Along with the other band members, Paul brings all of the old school songs from the classic era, like: First I look at the Purse, Lookin’ for a Love, Homework, House Party, Musta’ Got Lost, Pack Fair and Square, Southside Shuffle, Whammer Jammer, Hard Drivin’ Man. In addition, Songs by artists like Gary Moore, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Joe Cocker, Eric Clapton and The Allman Brothers will be included.

Blues, Bloodies, Dancing, Brunch, friends, fun- What could be better?

SEE YOU THERE!
